San Francisco, CA

SUNDAY, MARCH 8Saint Mary's Cathedral, 1111 Geary, San Francisco

10:00-11:30 amPROTEST Archbishop Cordileone’s “IMmorality Clause” on International Women's Day. Join with others this Sunday to take a stand to STOP the patriarchal degradation and subjugation of all women everywhere, and ALL oppression based on gender or sexual orientation!

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, long-time enemy of abortion rights and gay marriage, has imposed a “Morality Clause” on all the teachers in Catholic schools in San Francisco, which condemns the supposed “grave evils” of things like homosexuality, abortion, masturbation, and sex outside of marriage. San Francisco is home to over 90,000 LGBT people, and Cordileone and his dark ages politics are not welcome here. Come out and STAND UP! Love is NOT a sin, sex is NOT a sin, abortion is NOT a sin, and there is NOTHING SACRED about keeping people down.

Break bread and celebrate with Revolution Books, the Revolution Club, and Stop Patriarchy. We need a tidal wave of powerful revolutionary struggle to put an END to all forms of enslavement, degradation, abuse, and oppression of women. And to do this as a central and driving element of the revolution needed to emancipate all of humanity.

Who is stop patriarchy?

Stop Patriarchy is a group for everyone who wants to FIGHT to STOP the enslavement of women. Not politely lobby against it. Not grumble at the TV. Not simply post things on Twitter. And definitely not sit around waiting for those in power to “come to their senses.” It is also a movement for everyone who can be won to see the need for this – we are fighting aggressively to change minds and to grow and deepen and escalate until we succeed in changing everything.
